I have couple questions

[collegekid5]

Hi, I am new here probably people asked these before so be patient with me. I was wondering if I could have steak sauce which has 1g carb and 2g of sugar. I am 6' and weighed 250. After 12 days I am at 238. How realistic is my goal of 170. Also, how long can I continue on the induction phase
Thanks

Re: I have couple questions

You cant have ANYTHING where sugar is listed in the ingredients.

You could make your sauces for steaks?

You are already showing no signs of resistance to weightloss, so as soon as yout 14 days are up, head on over to OWL (Ongoing weight loss) and add in 5 extra net carbs of veggies,


Fantastic job so far!

Re: I have couple questions

You can have alcohol when you reach the right rung of OWL, which is rung five, so that will be several weeks after finsihing induction at least. You can find the rungs here:

Yes, too much salt is bad for you. It causes you to retain fluid and has lots of other bad effects. Try to cut back on it and use other seasonings instead.

Re: I have couple questions

I am glad that I found this website great job guys thanks for all of your help! I am learning new things. I think I messed up from the things I've read. I am on my 16th days of induction and I have had some caffine, some ketchup (may be two times low quantity) and I had some Balsamic vinegar(4 or 5 table spoon) of course all because of my lack of knowledge Should I stay in induction longer incase. Also ever since I am on the diet my sides( to the stomach) hurt... And sorry for saying this I haven't been to the restroom for the last two or three days so I am worried if you can help please tell me.

Re: I have couple questions

I made lots of mistakes on induction when I started too, but I learned from my mistakes as you are. Just move on. You are doing great! Congratulations with your success so far and also Welcome to ADBB! Keep up the good work. Move up the rungs so you can have a more varied diet.
